The UCI has added a second rider from the Astana team to its list of provisional suspensions today. Maxim Iglinskiy's suspension for a EPO-positive doping test follows that of his brother Valentin's by three weeks.
The rider from Kazakhstan was tested on August 1, 2014 - after the Tour de France, where he helped teammate Vincenzo Nibali to the overall victory.
Although the announcement of Maxim Iglinskiy's positive comes well after that of his brother's, his sample was taken 10 days before Valentin's. The UCI did not issue a statement regarding the two cases.
